To predict the effect of density on the dispersal of foraging parasitoids, we developed a spatiallyexplicit individual-based model in which parasitoids move among host patches at random but use an optimal decision-rule about when to leave these patches. We used a simple decision rulewhere an individual forager exploits a patch as long as the...
